This tropical succulent is from lush areas of Africa and appreciates consistent water. It tolerates going dry, but must then be watered. It won't tolerate the extended drought that other succulents from arid climates will. Along with this comes an exceptionally lush ground cover that is fast growing and rewarding. | |

Notas de cultivo
Easily divided in spring and moved around the garden or grown from cuttings. Not particularly invasive in California where it's too dry down south and too cold up north. Mexican mint tends to mat on itself as it grows; a hard prune every couple years in spring refreshes your clump and keeps it tidy.
